Application of a PGP bacterial bioinoculant in a vineyard: impact on soil bioch...

Introduction: Sustainable agriculture increasingly relies on the use of environmentally friendly practices and biotechnological tools to maintain soil health and productivity. The ReCROP project, funded by the PRIMA-Med programme, aims to enhance soil functions and resilience through integrated cropping systems. As part of this initiative, we evaluated the effects of a plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacterial bio...

Application of a PGP bacterial bioinoculant in a vineyard: impact on soil bioch...

The ReCROP project, funded by the PRIMA-Med programme, focuses on the development of sustainable agricultural production systems through the combined use of biotechnological tools and environmentally friendly agronomic practices to enhance soil functions and health. As part of this project, a PGP bacterial strain was used as a bioinoculant in a vineyard of the Mencía variety, located within the DO Ribeiro regio...

Cartografia social do território da Malcata: relatório territorializado

O relatório "Cartografia Social do Território da Malcata" apresenta os resultados de um projeto colaborativo entre a Universidade de Coimbra e o Observatório Territórios Sustentáveis e Saudáveis da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), que resultaram de um trabalho participativo assente numa metodologia de cartografia social implementada na região da Serra da Malcata. O objetivo principal foi mapear as percepções so...

GOOD - Agroecología para las malas hierbas: construyendo una red de manejo agro...

Las hierbas adventicias afectan negativamente a la sostenibilidad de los sistemas agrícolas de la Unión Europea (UE), cuya gestión depende en gran medida de los herbicidas. La estrategia "de la granja a la mesa" de la UE tiene como objetivo promover la agroecología y la transición hacia sistemas agrícolas sostenibles y resilientes, incluyendo la reducción del uso de herbicidas. GOOD es un proyecto de 4 años de ...

Socio-economic characterization of Portuguese kiwi growers: facing current soci...

This paper reports a socio-economic characterization of the Portuguese kiwifruit sector. A survey was applied between 2019 and 2020 to a sample of 94 kiwifruit farmers (males 76%, females 24%). 72 percent of the participants declare that kiwi cultivation is a complementary occupation characterized by an intergenerational pattern (25.6%). Almost 70 percent of the orchards are under 5 ha, and 26.8 percent declare...

Promoting sustainability in Mediterranean agriculture: insights from the Portug...

Agroecology is an integrated approach that simultaneously applies ecological and social concepts and principles to redesign and manage food and agricultural systems, promoting agroecosystems with the necessary biological, socio-economic, and institutional diversity and alignment to support greater efficiency. The present study aimed at characterising the socio-economic factors that lead farmers to accept and ad...

Bio-based superabsorbent hydrogels for nutrient release

Drought is characterized by a low water precipitation rate, with strong impact on crop productivity, threatening global food production. In this context, the use of soil amendments, such as superabsorbent hydrogels constitute a potential technology for better water use efficiency and higher crop yields. In this work, we synthesised cellulose-based hydrogels, characterized their physical and functional propertie...
